Story of the game: SC Derby will host Zadar in the last game of Round 3.
Each side has scored one win in the previous two weeks of the new season. SC Derby defeated Spartak Office Shoes in the opening round, while then suffered defeat against Cibona last week.
Meanwhile, Zadar opened the new AdmiralBet ABA league campaign with a big road win against their old rivals Cibona, but then they lost the home game against Igokea m:tel.
What is important to say about this clash is that SC Derby have never lost a home game against Zadar in the regional league. The Podgorica side have hosted Zadar 3 times so far and they scored 3 wins, so the Students will now be chasing four-in-a-row achievement.
Match-up in focus: David Mirković (SC Derby) vs. Amar Gegić (Zadar).
Mirković is one of the most talented players in the league, while this is already his 2nd season at the big stage. He is therefore getting more and more minutes on court, while in the last round he finished the match against Cibona with 8 points and 7 rebounds.
Amar Gegić has returned to the AdmiralBet ABA League this summer and he has made an instant impact as he was one of the best players of Zadar in the opening two rounds. With 19.5 points per game, Gegić is currently the 2nd best scorer of the season.
Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 4:2; In Podgorica 3:0.
